It’s Lewis’ 200th episode of The Rantcast! It also happens to be Thanksgiving. The time of year where Lewis heads out of the country with friends. Something he’s done for many years. So, while we celebrate reaching a pretty impressive milestone of the podcast, we also keep traditions alive. It’s also nice that a happy side effect of travelling around this time is it makes the Christmas season just a little be quicker.  PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW'S SPONSOR VIIA - If you are 21+ visit https://bit.ly/viialewis and for a limited time you can save up to 25% Off Sitewide PLUS up to 50% off Select Items & Bundles.

This past weekend Lewis performed some stand-up shows live in the Pacific Northwest. On a recent stop in Seattle, WA he decided to read some fan-submitted rants. And they were a doozy, ranging from the simple like complaints about food, to worries about the future of America's youth. Enjoy.

Lewis is out on the Fall leg of his Goodbye Yeller Brick Road tour and this past weekend the show rolled through a few stops in Kansas. On Sunday night in Salina, KS he took to the stage at the Steifel Theater for the Performing Arts and read some fan rants. They ranged from hot takes about Daylight Savings Time, political ads, and our never-ending desire for social media attention. Enjoy.

The anxiety about the election is at an all-time high. But that’s not the most important thing on Lewis’ mind. He’s deep in the week’s NFL games and how his Commanders are performing with a spectacular comeback that broke him out of his sleep-deprived weekend of shows down south. Back on the election front, Lewis has hot takes about the state of things. It forces him to make a decision that he doesn’t take much joy in or does lightly. And that is publicly endorsing a candidate. We end with a piece Lewis wrote some years back about the election. See you on the other side.

Lewis just spent the weekend in Skokie, IL and while there he discovered Will's Place a great restaurant with an even better mission, so let him tell you all about it. Lewis also realized an important anniversary was upon him and probably why he felt off on stage one night. But it's not long before the looming election pokes its head up again and, well that goes about as well as you'd imagine with lies and crime on both the local and national level. Is it election day yet?

Lewis is back in his public access podcasting studio this week. He returned from the road just in time to catch the Vice Presidential debates, possibly so you didn't have to, because it featured a lot of nonsense, and in at least one candidate's case, the normalization of said nonsense. While the debates were one thing, Lewis also has some thoughts on his beloved Baltimore Orioles ending their season after not advancing in the Wild Card playoffs.

Lewis recaps his trip out West to attend The Emmy Awards for the first time in 20 years. Not only did he get to experience a win with his Daily Show crew but met up with a couple former collaborators. What did he learn from the experience? Mostly that LA is still a surreal place to visit. But the weirdness isn’t only confined to the West Coast as Lewis finds out what’s happening in Ohio, Georgia, Venezuela, and right at home in NY where one of the wildest stories of the week leaves him dumbfounded.

Lewis watched the presidential debates and, whooo boy! Does he have some thoughts about it. Not only did he get particularly enraged about the two minute format, but just what was said on stage flat out seemed to be detached from reality. But the action didn’t stop there as there was plenty of post-game analysis by pundits that was just as zany. After the debates, Lewis battled the political spam messaging but it might not be one he can win. But don’t worry if you want an escape from all the politics as there’s plenty more crazy happening around the country.  This episode features a clip from the Master Plan podcast that includes an excerpt of the Powell Memo read by Lewis himself. The podcast is a new investigative series hosted by award-winning journalist and former Bernie Sanders speechwriter David Sirota (who is also the Oscar-nominated screenwriter for the Adam McKay film Don’t Look Up) has been working to unearth never-before-reported documents showing how a group of tycoons legalized corruption for the wealthy. It's an epic journey from the 1970s to the present, hearing the untold stories of infamous folks you already thought you knew — like President Richard Nixon and Fox News boss Roger Ailes. And you’ll meet operatives and oligarchs you’ve probably never heard of, because they’ve wielded their power in the shadows. If you somehow think government corruption doesn’t affect your daily life, think again: from high medical bills to lower wages today, it’s all part of the "Master Plan."

Lewis has returned from some time off celebrating both Labor Day and his birthday and he's doing his best to not lose his cool. A concept that's really difficult considering what's happening in the world around him. But there's hope, for Rantcast regular Mildred Ellison found a story that just tickled Lewis' fancy. This episode was recorded before the debates happened so the rage towards that will be saved for next week. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing out there to make you grumpy from Florida quietly trying to be a little less helpful to minority groups to a town in NC that fears the sun. __________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Labor Day and Lewis also just celebrated a birthday. With those two things in mind we're presenting you a Best Of for this week's episode of The Rantcast. In the spirit of our half-hearted attempt to turn Lewis into a food influencer in his post-touring life, we present a Best Of: Food Rants for you all. Some from fans, some from the man himself, all about food. Enjoy, Lewis will return next week. __________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

Lewis is back from Vegas and after the travel nightmare story from last week, there’s still a lot from the travel that pissed him off. In fact, he didn’t even get the chance to share what his Vegas experience was like (hint, a lot has changed) and how he’s now even more committed to his idea of a new hotel there on the strip. At the same time, the DNC National convention just wrapped and there’s a lot of talk about the vibes that came out of Chicago. While he is still trying to grasp what exactly they mean by “vibes” it seems most people are already turning toward the schedule debates between the two candidates. Ugh, is this election over yet? It’s a good thing we have the long Labor Day weekend to recover from it all. __________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

Lewis was just in Las Vegas performing and while the shows went great, the flight home was anything but. It was as he described it as one of the worst travel experiences of his life. Which is saying a lot for someone whose made a living on the road traveling for decades. This trek included heavy storms, grounded planes, storms, boarding planes, de-boarding planes, and Buffalo. And somewhere in the midst of the chaos he got a buffalo chicken wing omelet, so perhaps it wasn't all bad? ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

Lewis is back on the road to complete the final leg on his final tour (dates at www.lewisblack.com) and he has a couple warm-up dates lined up before the fall starts. Mostly to re-learn his act since he’s been trying his hardest to maximize downtime this summer. With dates in Cleveland last weekend and a couple shows in Las Vegas this weekend the road also brings great things like the chance to eat some terrific food. While Lewis might not consider himself a foodie, he certainly does appreciate a good meal, so nobody should be surprised if he becomes a food influencer as he winds down his time on the road. Not a bad way to spend your time. In the headlines Lewis has a follow-up to the Boneless Wing controversy, finds out they make designer fragrances for dogs, and learns about the alleged bad benefits of wearing all black clothes. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

Why that title? Because it’s a great metaphor for Lewis’ golf game. On in which he recently spent time in Maine working on. While there, Lewis took the time to keep ownership of his summer. For anyone who has followed the Rantcast for a while knows that summer is our time and should be politics free. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be possible these days. Why? Because VP running mates are being chosen and political nepotism has led us to dead bears being dumped in Central Park. If you don’t understand that last detail, you’re probably actually having a great summer.  THE GOFUNDME FOR GREG THE VETERAN Greg the veteran: https://gofund.me/bb81dca5 ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

One would think after last week’s whirlwind of news that this week would be somewhat quieter, but you would be wrong. With an election season heating up it seems the news is coming from everywhere. One of the biggest stories of the week being the constant flow of idiotic things said by GOP Vice Presidential hopeful, JD Vance. Whom seemed to put his foot in his mouth with each passing day, encouraging Lewis to declare the “JD” stands for “Just Dumb.” But it’s not all politics as the Olympics have kicked off in Paris, a city Lewis has visited many times and has a personal connection to. Speaking of personal connections, the West Bank Café, a theater where Lewis got his start in NYC is closing its doors after 46 years. Lewis also provides an update on Greg Douglas, the military veteran who recently submitted a lengthy rant to the Rantcast.

Well, somehow the news was even crazier than it was last week, if that's even possible. The weekend began with computers across the world crashing and sending things into turmoil and then it with Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 Presidential race. Something that has not happened decades. This all causing us to ask, will the fun ever stop? It's a good thing prepped for the weekend with a quick stop in Atlantic city for plenty of subs and gambling. Join Lewis as he attempts to make sense of it all.  _____ SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS VIIA: https://bit.ly/viialewis and use code LEWIS for %15 off ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

Things are insane! It seems we decided to take a speed run through current events this past weekend. One story alone was enough to make your head spin. But over the course of 72 hours, America was hit with not only an attempted assassination of a former-President-turned-current- candidate. Then, a day later a Florida judge made a controversial decision about the same former-President-turned-current-candidate. Then, a day after that former-President-turned-current-candidate selected someone as his potential Vice President who once hated him but now loves him? Oh, and the former-President-turned-current-candidate had to pick the new running mate because he tried to have his last one killed. You follow? But it made for a good photo op, right? We’re at least united in our insanity. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

This past week was Independence day and it seems the world has gone mad. Most of the country is in the midst of a heatwave. The press is having a field day with our candidates in a Presidential election that costs too much money. But it’s also going on for too long and leaking into a previously-declared politics-free summer. The GOP candidate is doing his darndest to erase all the progress of the 20th Century with the worst of takes on pretty much every social issue while the Dems are coming to grips with their candidate’s health. That said, there is still a functioning government out there, you just need to find it. We have one listener rant this week and it’s a special one from Greg Douglass. Why only one? Because his story as a military veteran attempting to navigate his health issues post service is so very relevant to hear on the 4th of July. If anyone out there can help Greg and his situation, please drop an email to [email protected] and we will work to get you connected to this Veteran. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

What a wild week, so much has happened in the world. One thing is enough to make your ears bleed, but we in the US are dealing with more than one thing. To sum it all up, we have people who can't say the truth while others need to come to grips with it. The debates, SCOTUS decisions, re-elections, church and state, it all seemed to come to a head this week, time to unpack it all. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

Lewis stars in the new Pixar film, Inside Out 2 reprising his role as the character of Anger in the film. The film landed atop the box office opening weekend and to date is has the best opening weekend in 2024. So congratulations are in order for our favorite animated emotion. Lewis spent the days leading up to the release doing press with his fellow cast members at Disneyland California before attending the movie's premiere. And on this week's episode of the Rantcast (recorded before the opening weekend numbers were released) he recaps his trip to the West Coast and his experience with the film. And if you want to go see the movie, check out tickets and times here. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Summer and with that comes a very simple message from Lewis, which is to just keep your mouth shut! Lewis has always lobbied for the politics-free summer and he's taking a stance. June, July, and August are times for us to relax, eat some fatty foods, and sip on a few cocktails. Once the air gets a bit colder does it become the time for us to start talking about the politics of life.

Lewis has returned from performing shows in Europe. One of the first things he learned of upon landing was the 34 guilty indictments handed down to Donald Trump by a jury of New Yorkers. The combination of these two events has given him a new perspective, which he's more than willing to share on this week's Rantcast. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Memorial Day to you all. Hopefully the long weekend treated you well as we all kept those in our armed forces top of mind. Lewis is wrapping up an European run of shows and will be on a plane headed back to the states by the time you read this. Since ranting into a camera on a plane high in the sky is probably not the best look for someone, Lewis pre-loaded this episode while he was still on the ground (and about to head out to record an episode of The Daily Show) so you can all enjoy. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

Lewis is still in Europe performing some dates long his tour. While he's spending time in a foreign land he prepared some other rants live from a recent run in the South )Tennessee and Atlanta) and the Midwest (Wisconsin and Minnesota). The US dates of the Goodbye Yellerbrick Road tour pick back up in August, but there will be plenty of Rantcast for you until then.

With Lewis in Europe, it's only fitting to call this episode just that. While those overseas stand-up shows are going well, here's a collection of rants prepared just for you to hold you over until Lewis lands back in the US. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

Lewis is headed overseas, but he left the fans with a stellar episode of The Rantcast. Like many of you, he's having a hard time understanding why a South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem bragged about her animal abuse, why NYC mayor Eric Adams is an idiot, the college campus protests, and ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. It's enraging for all. But perhaps the silver lining of all this might be the promising season of Baltimore Orioles and their hopes to restore some sanity for Lewis this summer. The live rants from this week's episode come straight from The National theater in Richmond, VA and run the gamut of complaints, from the big (climate change) to the small (an ex taking back a gift) and the good people of Richmond showed up. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

Lewis it out on the road and enjoying his time performing in front of the fans. So much in fact that he once again brought back The Rant Is Due live from a recent stop in Iowa City (home of Caitlin Clark) where some of the Hawkeye State's finest ranters submitted their hot takes on everything from government officials to their own daughters. It was a wild one out at the Englert Theater in Iowa City. Be sure to check out the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library at https://www.vonnegutlibrary.org where Lewis will be taking part in some fundraising events. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

We have a special episode of Lewis Black's Rantcast this week. Lewis is on the road and during a stop in Nashville this weekend (on 4/20) he decided to perform a live The Rant Is Due livestream for the first time in a long time. It was a thoroughly enjoyable time so we decided bring that live event to you all for episode 170 of the Rantcast. Enjoy these rants live from the James K. Polk Theater in Nashville, TN. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

It was a week of happenings, not just for Lewis but for the nation as we experienced not only the Solar Eclipse, but a large earthquake for a swath of people in the East. Lewis found himself in Arizona for a charity golf outing, still managing to see the eclipse. Was it the advertised 75% darkness it was advertised as? Maybe not. Unfortunately, the usual crazies bubble up with conspiracy theories around these natural phenomenon (of course). Other newsworthy events include the dreaded annual Tax Day and the death of OJ Simpson opens re-ignites old wars in what might’ve been the inflection point of a new way the media operates. The rants are live this week as Lewis works through some live dates in the Northeast. Speaking of tour dates, fall dates of The Goodbye Yeller Brick Road have been announced and by the time you read this, they will be on sale through the F.U.C.K.U fan club with public on sale occurring Friday, April 19th . RANT #1 – Alan Whitman has a complaint about Maine’s new beer laws RANT #2 – PN hates the Maine Weather RANT #3 – A student from the University of Maine’s rants about its amenities RANT #4 – Wayne Harvey wants people to know it’s just a comedy show ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

The madness of the year has already gotten to us, and if it’s going to continue through the already-declared politics-free summer, perhaps its time to get out of dodge and head on up to the National Comedy Center in Jamestown, NY? What nonsense is happening this week? First off, can anyone fluent in finance explain how Truth Social makes money? While we’re at it, can someone also tackle inflation? While on the topic of explaining things, a Michigan rep could use some help identifying a college basketball team. An MLB player could use some help determining if Wyoming is real, and Tennessee needs to figure out what exactly is the deal with Chemtrails. As always, Lewis is here to help navigate the madness. This week's rants are live from the road in Providence, Boston, and Portland, ME. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

Being born and raised in the greater Baltimore area, the news on the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse elicits Lewis laments on how it should be repaired. It also appears the level of satire have reached an all-time high between Donald Trump deciding to become a bible salesman and Alabama doing away with diversity programs in its universities. But it doesn’t end there as the Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments over mifepristone and it just reminds Lewis that being a lawyer can sometimes make your head spin. To top it all off, A.I. is manifesting itself in unlikely ways. It’s a wild week of headlines, luckily for us all Lewis Black is here to guide us through it all like a beacon of light.  ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

How's your bracket doing? The NCAA College Basketball tournament is Lewis' favorite sporting event of the year. It also serves as a good distraction from the lunacy of the day. A Spring that doesn't seem to have sprung yet. An election cycle that goes on and on. A former President's many, many days in court. Boeing's continued lack of quality control, and perhaps most traumatizing... the discontinuation of dollar hot dog night in Philly. RANT #1 – Michael Franke believes in the art of the argument. RANT #2 – Walter Newcomb takes issue with mispronouncing words. RANT #3 – Ginger Dowtle is PISSED about immigration, government, infrastructure, you name it. RANT #4 – Greg Jones is enraged about Global Warming. RANT #5 – Martino Emilo believes lawmakers have let our children down. RANT #6 – Noah Allen wonders how a President can divide a country. RANT #7 – Nancy Schulman believes we should regulate sperm. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

Does anybody really care? Well, we turned the clocks forward an hour and with it comes the annual debate about whether Daylight Savings time is a good idea or not. With both sides of the argument pulling their annual selective amnesia about the event. March also marks the start of The NCAA College Basketball Tournament which brings both great joy and a great distraction to Lewis. From what? Well, take your pick – could be GOP’s wild response to the State of the Union, Missouri finally realizing it’s 2024, the ongoing Middle East conflict or even silly things like one a man’s obsession with Big Macs. It’s a veritable smorgasbord of stories one wants to avoid. RANT #1 - Justin is a teacher and he has an issue with phone in class policies. RANT #2 - Michael Cohen is surprised when A-1 steak sauce was founded. RANT #3 - John LeShock is pissed people cannot pronounce words correctly. RANT #4 - Dr AJ is an ER doctor and has seen some things. RANT #5 - Vickie Gabow wilkes barre should fix potholes. RANT #6 - Jennifer Braun has had it with Ohio Drivers. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.lewisblack.com/live _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the podcast Lewis ponders what would happen if we all just collectively decided not to vote in the 2024 Presidential Election. This is because of a group of people that just don't feel energized by this year being a rematch of the 2020 election. In one corner a probably insurrectionist and in the other a person who might've done some good but no one seems to hear him. But the lethargy doesn't seem to end with the White House as most of Congress seems to be running in the opposite direction of progress. The rants this week range from the political to the silly. We're even treated to a rebuttal of a previously submitted rant. It's a live one! RANT #1 – Mildred Ellison finds a recent censoring of Mary Poppins silly RANT #2 – Barry Yates has an issue with aliens, not the undocumented kind RANT #3 – Brandon Hennery response to a recent rant about corn RANT #4 – Claude Craphead is onto the long con of big oil RANT #5 – Michelle Remiss hates some new efficiency features on cars RANT #6 – Robert Fling thinks typos suck RANT #7 – Howard Toller rants about our choices for president RANT #8 – Belinda hates the casual use of “My Bad” RANT #9 – Edwin Huett has a revelation about corrupt congress RANT #10 – Krista Graves updates us on the Norfolk Southern train derailment ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.lewisblack.com/live _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

The world lost the comic voice of Richard Lewis this week. Lewis takes a moment to acknowledge the loss of a comedy legend. The national news is still nonsense as what election season wouldn't be complete without another border crisis. Lewis also composed his thoughts enough to weigh in on Alabama's draconian IVF laws and in the process is reminded of a bit he performed over a decade ago that sadly still remains relevant today. But it's not all doom, Baseball is back and Lewis has thoughts on his beloved Baltimore Orioles and even some March Madness is around the corner. The rants this week come from Missouri and Nebraska with stops in St. Louis, Springfield, and Omaha. Rant #1 – Chip Miller finds pergolas useless Rant #2 – Sandy McReynolds doesn’t believe it should be called intelligent design Rant #3 – Mitchell Elliot wants Lewis to officiate his wedding Rant #4 – Amber Gonzalez has issue with Missouri politics Rant #5 – Kieran Richardson takes grandparenting seriously Rant #6 – Bryce Smith has hot takes on corn ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.lewisblack.com/live _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s one of those weeks where it’s almost too much to bear. In the wake of mass shootings, Louisiana issues new rules on gun control that are borderline infuriating. The rise of Measles for no good reason will make your head spin. Meanwhile Missouri Senators are debating draconian rules of engagement. If that isn’t enough, another Government shutdown is exactly what we don’t want or need right now. The week was a lot, so much in fact maintaining the proper level or rage over Alabama’s Embryo ruling going to have to wait. The rants this week come from far and wide and once again rants from the stage as Lewis made two recent stops in Detroit, MI and Waukegan, IL.   RANT #1: James Muckle has a complaint about Diet Coke RANT #2: Chris Morrissey has a gun control solution RANT #3: Tyler Turner hate battery packaging RANT #4: Your Pal believes executives should be replaced with A.I. RANT #5: Pat Casey has some choice words for politicians (live from Detroit, MI) RANT #6: Shemp Rolland’s thinks people from Battle Creek are stupid (live from Detroit, MI) RANT #7: Michael Murray has some words for Congress (live from Waukegan, IL) RANT #9: Mark Werner’s rant from a year ago still holds true (live from Waukegan, IL) ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.lewisblack.com/live _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the Rantcast, Lewis ponders why we’re live in a constant heightened state of stress. It’s supposed to snow, but according to the news reports its snowmageddon. Border problems can’t seem to be solved because politicians sabotage themselves. One old person is running for office, let’s make it two. Two celebrities can’t just be dating, they have to be part of a larger political conspiracy. Can’t just watch the Super Bowl, you have to watch a game within a game, within a game. Empty Nesters can’t handle being empty nesters, so they hire people to keep them company. It’s more than most can stand, Lewis realizes and is here to call B.S. on it. Rant #1 – Richard just wanted to eat an apple but that desire was thwarted. Rant #2 – Audrey weaves a tale about her HVAC tribulations. Rant #3 – Lane is a military veteran who has endured too much red tape for too many years. Rant #4 – Ken really wonders why the government devotes resources to keep stupid people alive. Rant #5 – Eve learns about the odd ritual in which they celebrate the New Year in her town. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.lewisblack.com/live _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

… and he could go on with a string of profanities afterward. Lewis is back for the new year and his tour has been going well. However, when he decided to talk to his fans about a recent illness he’s been dealing with, he had no idea that there were so many “doctors” amongst his fanbase’s ranks. It’s infuriating. With a new year come new rants, and there are some doozies – from the common like the war on tip culture. The classics –figuring out what exactly makes Flat Earthers tick. To possible creative solutions for our political and economic woes.  THE RANTS Rant #1 - Kevin McThorne might have the solution to our economic problems Rant #2 - Charles Hayes is pissed about the dictionary being removed from libraries Rant #3 - Katie Wood thinks Hollywood sucks and we as a nation are going back in time Rant #4 - Kayla Linkletter realizes the world is getting stranger and stranger Rant #5 - Richard Abramson feels like the expectation of tipping has gotten out of control Rant #6 - Scott Reid wants to know what the fuck is up with Flat Earthers? ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.lewisblack.com/live _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s the last Rantcast of 2023 and Lewis takes the opportunity to tell us why it’s the most wonderful time of the year. A few gifts from his friend Kathleen Madigan brings a better perspective on things than last week. Because who can be upset when we now know that brisket-flavored candy canes exist in this world. Lewis’ 2023 tour has officially wrapped and the chance to meet so many fans out on the road made it all worthwhile, so let’s wrap the year with some gratitude and the hope that we’ll might all get our shit together in 2024. RANT #1 - Mildred Ellison wants her own December to remember RANT #2 - Margaret Martin doesn’t want your phone spam RANT #3 - Margaret Martin also has a rant about overpopulation RANT #4 – Zachary T is no fan of automated customer service lines RANT #5 – Manuel S hates SantaCON and his 85 year old dad’s cleaning habits RANT #6 - Jacob Jacobson can’t believe us Americans are fucking up Democracy RANT #7 – Ed Wallace is pissed at how the kids use the English language RANT #8 – Michael O’Toole breaks down how Trump and MAGA aren’t Christians ______________________ PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW'S SPONSORS Visit https://www.microdose.com and use code LEWIS for 30% off your first order + free shipping.

Dick for sure! Many of you might’ve heard that our former leader recently declared he’d be a dictator for just the first day in office and that just seems silly that some people of both his party and the United States are just okay with that idea. Lewis isn’t one of those people and he’s tired of it. This week the news ranges from angry to irate and Lewis speaks for most of us when he declares that he’s sick and tire of being sick and tired. THE RANTS Rant #1 – Stacey is tired of people complaining about Joe Biden’s age Rant #2 – Angel wants people to realize that no matter who you are you have the right to a roof above your head Rant #3 – Susan is fed up with the hatred of teachers Rant #4 – Susan’s husband David is just as grumpy and things part of the solve is to bring back teaching Civics Rant #5 – Tom doesn’t understand why we tolerate commercials __________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? https://www.lewisblack.com/live _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

Lewis is back from the road where he learned he visited the birthplace of country music without knowing it, as Bob Ross would say, it was a happy accident. Another thing that should make folks happy out there is that in one week the political world saw the ouster of representative George Santos and the passing of one Henry Kissinger, someone that's plagued American politics for too long. This week also brings some weird news out of (shockingly) Florida and Mississippi.

As he mentioned on last week's episode of the Rantcast, Lewis has left the country for a bit of holiday vacation. But that doesn't mean you need to go without some rants.

It's Thanksgiving and Lewis is getting outta here! Where's he going? Overseas to continue his annual tradition of escaping the holiday by visiting friends internationally. How did this tradition begin you ask? Well, it started years ago when he realized that his family weren't great cooks. This week's rants. Rant #1 – Elliott almost got arrested with her father the way to see Lewis Black. Rant #2 – BJ Terry thinks the internet contains too much useless information and its effecting our youth. He takes an opportunity to prove this theory to his 13 year old grandson at Church. Rant #3 – An anonymous female ranter still has to put up with the bullshit of working in a male-dominated industry. Rant #4 – David H has a bone to pick with the Michigan GOP and for good reason. Rant #5 – Sean Anonymous hates people that treat their dogs like children. Rant #6 – Barry H rants about aging, it turns out that 70 is not the new 20. No matter what people tell you. __________________ PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW'S SPONSORS Visit https://www.ghostbed.com/lewis and use code LEWIS for 40% off your order.
